Acid Resistant and Highly Silver Selective Membranes Based on Charged Nanoporous 2D‐Materials
In this work, new membranes based on charged & nanoporous nanosheets with unprecedented selectivity to silver versus a wide range of other metallic ions are reported. Furthermore, a demonstrated and lead specific intralamellar lead pathway is demonstrated. A potential applicability for ubiquitous silver in WEEE is validated.

Channel geometry is used to pattern activity in acoustically energized active liquid crystals, producing controlled, directional transport of topological defects. The mechanism is revealed by experiment and minimal modeling, offering a new design principle for programmable topological transport and active microfluidic architectures. ABSTRACT Patterning

Enhanced Actuation Stability of Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuators With Diels–Alder Dynamic Bonds
By leveraging furan substitution, enhanced thermal stability during actuation of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) with Diels–Alder dynamic (DA) bonds was achieved. This work demonstrates that 3‐substituted furan broadens the actuation window of LCEs with DA bonds and enables superior thermomechanical stability and cycling performance at elevated ...

Electrically reconfigurable diffraction gratings based on electrophoretic carbon black (CB) nanoparticles are demonstrated. Voltage‐driven particle redistribution forms periodic absorbing patterns with switchable wide‐ and narrow‐slit diffraction modes. The proposed diffractor exhibits negligible polarization dependence, wide‐temperature operation from

A Newly Discovered Tablet‐Making Facility in Nineveh: Insights From Scientific Analysis
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the question of tablet technology in the Neo‐Assyrian capital city of Nineveh. Recent excavations in the lower town of Nineveh by the Iraqi–Italian Archaeological Expedition uncovered an exceptional assemblage of more than 200 tablets from an elite residence that appears to have included a scriptorium.
